WFT-20 is a wireless testing device that operates in Win CE
platform. Supporting 802.11a/b/g/n protocol, it not only
provides the chosen wireless environment with complete
information such as the signal quality of each channel and
the numbers of base stations, but also monitors all base
station of channels.
In addition, WFT-20 can help users to trace the information
of selected base stations, including the encryptions, the
packets and the stations connecting to base station.
WFT-20 also offers the engineers some practical tools for
reference during site survey or setting.

b. When a SSID is selected, there goes a page that
represents the signal strength and channel of the

a. Notice before starting WFT-20
@ Charge the battery at least 6 hours before using WFT-20
which contains 2 rechargeable Li-ION batteries. One of
them is the main battery that supplies electric power to
whole system, another is the backup battery that
provides necessary electric power for maintaining the
data in Flash ROM. Both the batteries will charge at the
same time while the system is charging.
When the charging light turn green, it means the
batteries are finished charging.
b. How to handle the situation of no display as booting and a
red light shows up above of screen?
@ This might be the problem of starting electric power.
Please push F1+F4+Power button to restart the system
several times until WFT-20 is booted correctly.
WFT-20 User's Manual
15. Trouble Shooting
c. How to deal with the problem of LED light above screen
turns red?
@ This indicates the electric capacity of main battery is in a
weak position. Please charge or replace the battery as
soon as possible to keep the work normally executed.
d. How to solve the problem that a blue page shows up while
the testing page suddenly disappears as using?
@ This is caused by wrong execution of programs. Please
push F1+F4 button to restart WFT-20, or execute the
step of power off / power on.
54
e. No messages can be found when scanning the base
stations :
@ This often occurs due to a repeated scanning within a
short period. It takes 10 seconds for WFT-20 to make a
complete scan, but a hurried scan could probably
enforce WFT-20 to continue the next scan without
ending previous one, then a programming error might
happen. Please restart WFT-20 by the step of power off /
power on.

instead of other USB flash disk.
2. The USB host cable may be broken or has not been
installed properly.
3. The U Disk memory is full, in order to preserve more
space, some of
the files in the disk should be cleaned and removed,
after that please try to
export the files again.
h. Data can not be exported
@ Possibilities
1. Use other USB Flash Disk instead of the U Disk
attached by WFT-20.
2. USB Host Cable is broken or unconnected correctly.
3. The memory of the U Disk is full, some of files should
be cleaned out,

i. How to clear up the problem of firmware’s upgrading
incomplete?
@ This is resulted from the insufficient power. Please
charge the battery with AC adapter and restart WFT-20
again, if it still cannot be booted, push F1+F4 to restart
once more. If it doesn’t work still, please contact the
dealer to send WFT-20 back to the manufactory.
NOTICE:
To our strong suggestion, please charge WFT-20 with
AC adapter all the time during the upgrading procedure.
